Former President Donald Trump’s supporters say they hold him as a source of true information over their family, friends, and religious leaders, according to a new CBS News/YouGov poll out on Sunday.

    You have a rather simplistic view of this. That might be true for what you saw, but please don’t project this to all MAGAts out there. The Left’s insistence of always turning EVERY goddamn thing into a race issue only makes matters worse and completely misses a whole ton of underlying causes that we as a society should be looking at. If the Left could keep themselves from getting race-baited for even 10 minutes, we might be able to accomplish something one of these days.

      Nah, it’s mainly a race issue. Do not confuse your 1 semester course on modern history in college with my 40 years of suffering under the heel of vile racists both Black and white. The MAGA movement is mostly made up of racist whites who think like this and dumbasses who sympathize with them thinking they’re the exception simply because the MAGA cultists choose to tolerate them to better enable them to manipulate others.

          The only one being problematic and immature here is you, friend. My life experience might be inconvenient for you but it trumps any of that carefully crafted nonsense intended to convince people to sympathize with Trump supporters you conjured up (or wrote with Chat GPT, I don’t know).

      “Race-baited”?

      Seems like someone doesn’t want to acknowledge how deeply that segment of the population is embedded in “otherism” of all kinds.

      Racism is endemic, and for you to call pointing out this very obvious fact “race-baiting” belies a serious lack of awareness on your part.
